Welcome to the family!  These are great classics and so underappreciated.  It's nice to hear they're being restored; and not just the wagon that's by far the most common that I see on the road.

My deepest sympathies on your new Eagle purchase!   Kidding!   Yeah, they have quirks; but not too many.  And you'll be the star of any cruise-in you go to!
